Commanders interviewed Dennard Wilson for their vacant defensive coordinator role

According to reports, the Commanders have interviewed Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. While the AFC South club struggled once again in 2025, the coach continues to bolster his reputation as an exceptional talent developer who can do more with less.

Several others are also in contention. Still, nobody should be complaining too much if Washington went down this route.

Wilson is a Maryland native. He was on Washington’s practice squad in 2004. He’s cut his teeth with the New York Jets,...

The 2026 NFL draft starts Thursday, April 23rd at 8pm, and will be broadcast live from Pittsburgh, PA. Teams have been scouting these players for years, and the pre-draft process will gain national attention at the post-season college all-star games and ramps up again at Pro Days and the NFL Combine. Teams will have access to prospects for formal and informal interviews at these events, but as the draft approaches, they are also able to host 30 players for formal visits. They can also hold workouts and local prospect pro days to get more information on players they have interest...

The NFL’s Wild Card Weekend is winding down, but we’ve still got two more big games to play. The Sunday night game features the Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers visiting Drake Maye and the New England Patriots. The Chargers come into this game as slight underdogs, and will face a tough out at Gillette Stadium. Drake Maye is an MVP candidate, but the Patriots faced a very easy schedule. Are they the real deal, or one and done in the playoffs?

The NFL’s Wild Card Weekend is here! The second game on today’s three-game lineup features the 3rd and 6th seeds from the NFC. The San Francisco 49ers are visiting the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup of two of the top teams in the conference. The 49ers should be getting Trent Williams back, and they will be playing a team that rested their starters last week. That loss cost them the No. 2 seed, and a potential home game later in the playoffs. The Eagles are big favorites at home.

Washington Post (paywall)

Commanders go young, promote David Blough to be offensive coordinator

The 30-year-old is just three years removed from his final start as an NFL quarterback.

Washington had been expected to consider recently fired head coaches such as Mike McDaniel or Kevin Stefanski for the vacancy — or perhaps a current offensive coordinator who does not call plays, such as the Los Angeles Rams’ Mike LaFleur. McDaniel and LaFleur both coached on Quinn’s staff during his previous coaching stint in Atlanta.

Instead, the Commanders ultimately interviewed just two external candidates: Dallas Cowboys...

Be careful what you wish for

For years here on Hogs Haven, members have bemoaned the fact that certain coaches — Sean McVay & Kevin O’Connell in particular — were allowed to leave Washington only to see them go on to success as head coaches (or in the case of KOC, coordinator and head coach) for other teams. “Why,” many Hogs Haven members have lamented, “can’t we hold onto guys like McVay and O’Connell when we have them?”
